Bry @yogablife - I have the incredible privilege of serving as the community leader for @actifysocial, where we cultivate a space for like-minded individuals to connect, share, and grow. Being a Lululemon Ambassador and International yoga instructor has allowed me to spread the love and wisdom of yoga across borders. It's truly a blessing to connect with yogis from all corners of the globe. Yoga isn't just a practice for me; it's a way of life. As an experienced yoga instructor, my passion lies in guiding each of you towards finding your inner peace, strength, and balance. But that's not all! I'm also a trained massage therapist and a specialist in pain relief techniques. So, if you're in need of some relaxation or healing during our mini-retreat, you're in good hands.

Nix @bayleefbae - Nix is an Intuitive Guide and Holistic Practitioner, and has been working in the health and wellness industry for 18+ years. Prior to embracing her intuitive gifts, Nix got her start as a Holistic Aesthetician before diving deeper into hands-on healing as a Registered Massage Therapist, with a brief stint as a Personal Trainer. After embarking on many personal healing journeys, learning how to attune to her own frequency, and deepening her understanding of self, she stepped further into the world of traditional holistic modalities and practices. While embracing her intuitive gifts, she gained her mastery in Reiki practices, and expanded into the art of breathwork, meditation and sound bath facilitation. For the past year, Nix has been co-facilitating monthly workshops that honor the essence of mind, body and consciousness connection, utilizing a combination of modalities that support the cleansing, rebalancing and alignment of the 7 main Chakra centers. These workshops facilitate catalytic change in many aspects. To further support the integration of her workshops, she also released an ebook that guides individuals through easy self-care tasks that align to each Chakra center. "I've been gifted the opportunity to connect with people in a quantifying way, supporting and nourishing profound transformation in others, and within myself. It has been a humbling adventure that I honor soulfully". - Nix

WORKSHOPS:

Sensual Strength: A Pole Dance Workshop with Kiana - In this workshop, you'll practice both pole tricks and sensual choreography. Kiana will guide you through pole tricks first before transitioning into the sensual choreography segment. Both components require a blend of strength and sensuality. However, pole tricks often align more closely with masculine energy due to their demanding nature, while sensual choreography is more connected to feminine energy through its fluid movements. Throughout the workshop, Kiana will provide guidance on how to embody a balance of both your masculine and feminine energies to create a sense of Sensual Strength in every movement, whether it's executing a pole trick or flowing through choreography. Some prior pole experience is recommended, but modifications will be available for all skill levels. You're welcome to practice barefoot or in heels (you will be on a stage pole, not the sand directly). Please note: this is a pole share workshop (2 per pole).

Yin/Yang Yoga with Bry - Join Bry for a Yin/Yang Yoga workshop designed to harmonize and balance the masculine and feminine energies within you. This transformative session blends the passive, introspective qualities of Yin yoga with the dynamic, active elements of Yang yoga, creating a holistic practice that nurtures both body and soul. You'll flow through a vibrant Yang sequence, energizing your body with strength-building, heat-generating movements. This practice stimulates vitality and enhances your outward expression of energy. Then, you'll embrace the stillness and deep stretch of Yin poses, allowing your body to release tension and your mind to cultivate inner peace. This practice encourages mindfulness and introspection, connecting you with your inner self. This workshop is open to practitioners of all levels.

Divine Balance Breath & Meditation with Nix - Masculine energy and Feminine energy stand in their own unique lights. Often these energies are imbalanced within us, they tend to see-saw based on the environments we step into, the interactions we experience, and the emotional burdens we deal with or run from. Through the medicine of breath, the art of sound, and the guidance of my voice, we will highlight and explore the divine feminine and divine masculine energies and traits that we all naturally embody. This segment of the workshop will allow you to entwine these energies together and bring them into a divine balanced flow, throughout your mind, body and spiritual essence, leaving you feeling more connected, aligned and whole.
